Hi there @SamKemp55,

What you could do is create a new Droplet with the LAMP image, then SSH to the droplet and make the necessary changes. After that shut down the droplet and take a snapshot.

Finally, you will be able to use this snapshot as a base image and spin up new Droplets from it. You can take a look at the official documentation on how to do that here:

Hope that this helps! Regards, Bobby
